Bit could not stand it... so boring and idiotic... stayed through perhaps twenty minutes yawning...Just one question guys - who was that disfigured idiot?
Other than this... why do people make trash like this? And how much did it gross?
Follow Ups:
...and found it risibly badly written. Couldn't take more than 30 pages. The movie? Boycotted it.clark
Mason Verger was Hannibal's only patient that he attacked that survived. Played in the movie by Gary Oldman.Doug Schneider
that survived his "treatment".
... I can just see it now:Publisher: "Tom, that Silence of the Lambs thing was great - write us another and it'll be a best seller"
Harris: Why sure, I have a great plot in mind
(exit author, stage left to local library)
Harris: Do you have a copy of Bram Stoker's "Dracula"
Harris (thinks): Perfect - now I just have to change a few names, add lots of gore, put in a gross surprise ending and no one will recognise it. Hmmm, this is gonna be fun!TG
Seriously, it made lots of money based on the success of it's predecessor (i.e., which was excellent, albeit very disturbing in places), but the sequel is a so-so movie made from a much WORSE book. BTW, it's not the Director's fault (Ridley Scott) nor the Screen Writer's (David Mamet received ultimate credit, if I'm not mistaken), because the book could NOT be filmed as written. The movie is actually toned down; it was much more disgusting! I'm afraid Thomas Harris screwed the pooch on this one, probably because he'd grown to despise the character of Hannible Lecter and was pressured into writing it by his publisher.Hey Victor, didn't anyone warn you not to eat that hot macaronni & cheese casserole during the last ten minutes of the film? :o)

Sadly serendipitous is that 2x in the film they show a website of FBI's 10 most wanted and right in the middle, next to Dr.Lechter there's none other than Osama bin Laden. Saw the movie an hour ago, parts good(who can fuck up Florence?!), parts weird, overall no good. Brain scene was too much.
*Brain scene was too much.*Some gruesome, wicked irony in the scene, perhaps a little
too much for most people's taste, notwithstanding Ray Liotta's
savoring. For a scene more palatable, check out the resturant
gag with the powdered toast in the comedy "Road Trip". - AH
***Hey Victor, didn't anyone warn you not to eat that hot macaronni & cheese casserole during the last ten minutes of the film? :o)The last few minutes of that masterpiece I actually saw a couple of nights before. I thought those lame effects were largely relegated to the SPR and "Friday the 13th" teenager movies. But then again, what do I know? After arriving here I was pleasantly surprised to see an adult man reading comics books in a store.
